Ninja civil war breaks out and nobody can find the main characters. Classic anime.
It's been three months since the Sacred Sword War ended, & Kojiro and Ryoma are nowhere to be found. Back at the villiage of the Fuma clan, a group calling themselves the "Shinsei Fuma clan" forms, calling for an end to the clan of old... And those who are not with them are considered the enemy.
Direction
Kikuchi crams epic scope into 50 minutes of pure momentum.
Practical Effects
Hand-drawn ninja combat before digital shortcuts ruined everything.
Costume
Shinsei vs. traditional Fuma designs tell the whole story visually.
Director
Kazuhito Kikuchi
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kazuhito Kikuchi directed this between stints on Bubblegum Crisis and Yu Yu Hakusho, bringing that same kinetic energy to ninja politics.
The 'new vs. old clan' conflict mirrors real sengoku-era shinobi histories where splinter factions often destroyed themselves from within.
